Lack of calories?

zeebruhgirl

I'm finding myself with a lack of calories but I don't know how to add them without adding sugars too!

It's driving me nuts, any snack ideas besides avocados?

Nuts have some sugars so those tend to mess me up. But then I'll eat vegetables to be full, but some of them add almost nothing in calories.

Feel free to take a look at my diary and give me any tips, they're greatly appreciated!

Well without eating any nuts, my best advice would be more meat, or oils, like coconut oil, some like to put it their coffee if you drink coffee... Sweet potato might add in some helpful cals as well...

Nuts have sugars you are avoiding?

You could always throw in a hard boiled egg with breakfast. Not the most exciting of snacks... Could you make yourself some sweet potato chips (not that I have tried this myself yet). You could pump your salads up with sun dried tomatoes, olives, radishes. Bullet-proof coffee.

I love nuts and I do eat them but I'm just trying to stay below a certain point with sugars and the tend to put me over that

Steak is a good higher cal no sugar food. You don't even have to eat a whole steak, but maybe cook a piece and dice it up or have it in strips in the fridge to toss on a salad for added calories? Sunflower seeds also! I've been tossing them on salads. I have been under calories every day since starting this lifestyle and I think it's ok since you're eating better foods and staying full longer. I could be wrong, but I think I saw that somewhere and some people don't even bother to count as long as they're eating those good whole foods.

If you're just worried about the number on the screen. If you're hungry- go with those veggies like you said and worry about fullness, not the number
